[jackiesj]

I notice that if i am off my vitamins and nutritional routine..MS is more severe. Stress is a major killer and sleep. is it the MS or visa versa>

I notice the same with myself.

If my blood sugar is high, it affects my MS.

Everything I've ever read, or been told by doctors, says that diet has no direct effect on MS. But of course, a good diet can help with better general health, and this is a good thing for everyone, MS'rs included.

Don't be so quick to dismiss diet. My M.S. Neurologists, plural, used to downplay nutrition and vitamins. "A D though is good"...

I did the Whal's diet, and have heard all good things over the many years since. I stick by the following: 1. Avoid processed foods with ingredients you don't know what they are, more less pronounce. 2. Primarily fruits and veggies, with small servings of lean meats, fish, seafood.... 3. I do not discriminate regarding dairy.... but do avoid soy and a few choice items regarding my PSA (prostate). Avoiding a few things has worked for me. My levels are back to levels I had in 2010.

Regarding the M.S.: After decades with M.S., Relapse free of over 6 going on 7 years! My M.S. Neuro says I may one of the lucky ones that may simply be over it!

From too many meds to remember without a cheat sheet, to years now with none. Only Vitamins and Healthy food, and in good health.

Your points all support a good basic understanding- a healthy diet can lead to better health for everyone, including MS'rs.

I keep reading, diet helps, and may be the entire solution. So, if nothing else, spend precious effort on this idea! Worked for me!
